Re: Office 2016 64Bits APP-V

Hi and welcome to our forums,

Complex applications like Office or Adobe Photoshop cannot be easily converted to App-V.

Because of this the vendors of such applications provide recipes, to help generate the App-V packages. The following link from MSDN
talks about the steps you need to follow to generate an App-V package for Office.

The Office Deployment Tool is also used for scenarios when you simply need to deploy Office inside a company as a full desktop application, not as an App-V application. I strongly recommend
you carefully read the instructions offered by the Microsoft team, this should allow you to generate a working App-V package.
